OS X: If you use Mint to track your bank, credit cards, and investment accounts, you've probably enjoyed using the mobile apps for quick access. If you'd like the same situation on your Mac, Mint QuickView can provide just that.

The little app sits in your menubar as a little green mint leaf and displays a blue badge with the number of alerts. If you don't see a badge, you have no new important information. If you see it, you have some things to check out. Of course, you can click the icon anyway to get a basic overview of your credit cards, cash, and so on. The app can take you directly to Mint without opening your web browser, and if you're using a computer that isn't 100% private you can lock down the QuickView app with a passcode. It's just a little app that offers up information, so it's not going to provide you with all the functionality of Mint.com, but it's handy if you want to take a quick look at your financial information.
